[QUOTE="strudders, post: 735749, member: 69544"] Just to clarify the above, I cannot even get to the mac OS X install procedure like I was able to before. I hold down C with the OS X install disc insterted and the machine hangs for 2-3 minutes before going to the open firmware prompt. I can use dir HD:\ and dir CD:\ to find the contents of the HD and the CD but do not know where to go from here. It seems like I have taken one step forward (at least I can see the HD now) but two steps back (cannot get to OS X install procedure). There's probably something simple, but for the life of me I can't figure it out. Thanks! [/QUOTE]
